OK America....
Well, here's your test. Let's review. Lying, bribe taking, vote selling, treason. That's just a sampling of the things the Republicans have been caught at. Yet some of you will still vote for them today. You'll vote for stupid, ignorant or treasonous reasons. You'll become the lowest form of anti-democratic traitor, the one issue voter.
You'll vote on issues like abortion that really have nothing to do with these midterm elections. You'll vote for people that claim to support your position on these issues, even though they have blatantly lied about that position just to get your vote. Don't believe me? Let's go back to the abortion issue. Given that most of you have no idea how your own government even works, let's review. At this point, abortion is law. There are only two groups that can do anything about it. Those groups are Congress, and the Supreme Court. Now keep in mind that the Congress has been a Republican majority since the last elections and they've done nothing. Now right now you're thinking something stupid like "But those darn Democrats have/would have stopped them if/when they tried to change the law". Well, they'd have had to actually try to change it to be stopped. Go try and find a Bill proposing such a change. Had they even tried it would have been the biggest news story on the air. They'd have been fighting over it tooth and nail. But there has not been any stand or effort by the Republican party to ban abortion. Yet they all campaign heavily on this issue.
OK, so what about the Supreme Court. Well, quite simply, this President and his father nominated the majority of the current court. Yet none of them have taken any stand on Abortion. In fact BOTH of George W's two nominees clearly stated that they consider Roe V. Wade to be the law of the land and that they have no intention to challenge it.
What you do have is a party, led by a President who stated clearly, and on video, that he would run, and win the Presidency by courting Christian Conservatives. He and Karl Rove discussed this on tape during a documentary about the Senior Bush's last (losing) campaign as they analyzed the election results and were surprised by the voter response to Pat Buchanon. They then, and there, and on tape, formed a plan to court the Conservative Christian vote. Then, suddenly, magically, this fornicating (his admission), cocaine snorting, drunk suddenly became a religious conservative from Texas. Never mind that he and his family are really from the same crowd as the Kennedy's and John Kerry. That's right. They are from that same Massachusetts yacht club crowd. Look it up. They chose to ride the Conservative, anti-Liberal backlash that started in the Reagan years. It's all fake.
More confirmation came of this by Whitehouse insiders like David Kuo who confirmed that to this administration, Christian Conservatives are nothing more than another demographic to be courted.
However this Republican party of liars and hypocrites is constantly getting caught behaving in ways that show their true morals. Vote selling, bribes, money crimes, sex scandals, homosexuality, drugs, even treason (see the Plame story).
Yet despite all this, you'll vote for them. Despite the fact that they have done more to destroy the American way of life than any terrorist. You'll vote for them. I hope you are ashamed of yourself.
*Note: Does this mean I think you should vote Democrat? No, not necessarily. I mean you should vote for individuals, based on their platform and their record of sticking to it. You should vote out incumbents. You should vote for worthy independants. In short, you should vote like an American. Not a Benedict Arnold.
